520    "Jill Lepore is unquestionably one of America's best 
       historians; it's fair to say she's one of its best writers
       too." —Jonathan Russell Clark, Los Angeles Times    A TIME
       Best Book of the Year    A book to be read and kept for 
       posterity, The Deadline is the art of the essay at its 
       best.    Few, if any, historians have brought such insight,
       wisdom, and empathy to public discourse as Jill Lepore. 
       Arriving at The New Yorker in 2005, Lepore, with her 
       panoptical range and razor-sharp style, brought a 
       transporting freshness and a literary vivacity to 
       everything from profiles of long-dead writers to urgent 
       constitutional analysis to an unsparing scrutiny of the 
       woeful affairs of the nation itself. The astonishing 
       essays collected in The Deadline offer a prismatic 
       portrait of Americans' techno-utopianism, frantic 
       fractiousness, and unprecedented—but armed—aimlessness. 
       From lockdowns and race commissions to Bratz dolls and 
       bicycles, to the losses that haunt Lepore's life, these 
       essays again and again cross what she calls the deadline, 
       the "river of time that divides the quick from the dead." 
       Echoing Gore Vidal's United States in its massive 
       intellectual erudition, The Deadline, with its remarkable 
       juxtaposition of the political and the personal, 
       challenges the very nature of the essay—and of 
       history—itself.
